Oh, that's really interesting... Currently I'm only able to build for Windows and Linux, because these are my operative systems, so I was looking for a way to build for macOS (an .app file?)... I'm adding it to my CI script, thanks again!<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="https://love2d.org/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=144713">JuanjoSalvador</a> — Sun Apr 19, 2020 3:51 pm</p><hr />

It's a cross platform way of packaging your game. For example, you can use it in a CI script and build your game automatically whenever you push up code. In fact, I test the code by building a game on macOS, Linux, and Windows through CI.<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="https://love2d.org/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=127310">Ikroth</a> — Sat Apr 18, 2020 7:52 pm</p><hr />

The only way to "build for Linux" is creating a love file and asking users to install LOVE on their own machine. Of course, native Linux build would be a genuine executable, but that suffers from portability issues. So, I would consider boon to support Linux builds when it can create something like an AppImage or a Snap. I would like to make that possible, but it is a large task and I do not have the time at the moment to do it.<br><br>As far as supporting 11.3 goes, I believe I have updated all of the references for this release, but if I missed any, please let me know.<br><br>Thank you for your comments.<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="https://love2d.org/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=127310">Ikroth</a> — Wed Mar 18, 2020 1:20 am</p><hr />

Hello everyone!<br><br>Packaging and distribution can be a big hassle for LÖVE, which is why great tools like love-release and other packagers exist. However, installing these can be tricky and error prone. I've experienced a number of dependency issues with love-release (libzip, luarocks, etc.) and it has led to a lot of frustration. I just wanted a tool that was easy to install, easy to use, and can build my game quickly and without any trouble.<br><br>So, I created a tool called boon: <a href="https://github.com/camchenry/boon" class="postlink">https://github.com/camchenry/boon</a><br><br>boon is a build tool for LÖVE. It makes it easy to package your game for multiple platforms, similar to love-release. It is a single executable with no other dependencies. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It can be used across multiple projects and makes automated building a breeze.<br><br><span style="font-size: 150%; line-height: normal">Features</span><ul><li>Package your game for multiple platforms.
